He's also much slower. Grant would have gone through the same enormous hole that Jackson did at the beginning of the game, the only difference is the play would have ended in +6.

Enormous? Grant doesn't make it through that hole, or at best is falling down about 6-8 yards with his legs getting touched.

He hits hard. He can also make cuts and break ankles. Last year he didn't have these abilities. The first half of the Eagles game, short a sample as it may have been, he was doing both of these again.
I like how Jackson played today, but I simply do not believe that he is better than Grant, I mean seriously lets not get too carried away after one game.

They are just different styles. Grant works great with the stretch plays but he runs with to much lean and gets tripped up easy and limits his cut angles.

Honestly, I go with the game plan. If coach runs it, then Ive got to take advantage of my opportunities. Were a pass-first, run-next team, and whenever he calls my number, Ive got to contribute.

I appreciate this quote. I do sincerely like that he is a team player, thats awesome. Idk why it is but I am particularly sensitive to people who show-boat. Great attitude to have, and I hope it's contagious.

AMAZING how people jump right back on the band-wagon of saying BJack is better than Grant after ONE game.

Just last week people were saying that we shouldn't even re-sign him after this season.

CAN SOME OF YOU MAKE UP YOUR MINDS, PLEASE!?!?

Ryan Grant is a top 10 NFL RB. Brandon Jackson is probably a top 30 NFL RB. Or, somewhere around there.

I think you are talking about different cut. Grant is great at the stretch see the hole 1 cut and go plays. He isn't shifty after that though. Jackson has more wiggle in his running. Mostly because Grant once that first cut is done, runs with lean that makes more cutting difficult but lays some power when making contact.

Everybody myself included talks about how slow Jackson is. After watching the replay of his 71 yarder, which just happens to be a longer run than Grant ever had. Is he really that slow?

On that run it took 60 yards for Landy and Hall to catch him. Aren't those two both pretty fast guys. It wasn't like Fat Pat Williams caught him. Hall was already moving in that general direction already. Really seemed like some decent speed minimum.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
